Dorking Nursery School was originally founded in 1939 and has long been at the heart of family life in Dorking. We have two nurseries, catering for children from age 2 to 5. We have always excelled at Early Years education, which has been recognised by Ofsted. Both our 2-3s and 3-5s nurseries have been rated as Outstanding.

Our 3-5s nursery has up to 70 places, 11 of which are part of our SEN Centre. The 2-3s nursery has approximately 30 places. Both are open term time only. We value the whole child and endeavour to work in partnership with families to empower each individual to reach their personal and learning potential.

Our nursery is located on our West Street site in the town centre.
